I'm still working away inside of California coast.dng and in this exercise I am…going to show you how to infuse a black -and-white image with color using the…Split Toning controls.…Now a couple of notes upfront.…First of all, we are not doing this for the sake of the special effects.…We are doing this because we want to be able to render out as many luminance…levels in print as possible.…So by adding some color to our image, we bring in the other inks whether we…are printing to an inkjet printer, or we are sending the image out for…commercial reproduction,…and so instead of relying on a single black ink which might render out maybe 50 or…60 luminance levels,…we are bringing in a bunch of other inks as well, which vastly increases our dynamic range.…
